Image
786/92/110 Returning to the Divine Path of Knowledge, Mercy, and Purpose through the Asma'ul Husna and the Lives of the Prophets (AS) Message to the Ummah: Living with Tawakkul (Trust), Devotion, and Sacrifice in Times of Isolation and Transition SubhanAllah, when we reflect on the life of Nabi Isma’il (AS) , we are not simply recounting a moment in history—we are witnessing the embodiment of a soul aligned with Asma’ul Husna such as: Al-Muqeet (The Sustainer), As-Sabur (The Most Patient), Al-Wakeel (The Trustee), Al-Matin (The Firm One), and Al-Mujib (The Responsive One). His life was marked by total submission to Allah's will, and through this surrender, he becomes a living proof of the infuser of life , Al-Ba’ith , who revives not only the body but the spirit of obedience and trust. 1. The Name of Allah in Focus: Al-Wakeel (ٱلْÙˆَÙƒِيلُ – The Trustee) When Nabi Ibrahim (AS) left Hajar and Isma’il (AS) in the barren desert with no visible means of surviva...

Nabi Nuh (As), Nabi Hud (as), Nabi Saleh, Nabi Ibrahim (as)

  The Timeline of Prophets After Nabi Nuh (Noah, AS): After the great flood during the time of Nabi Nuh (Noah, peace be upon him) , humanity was renewed through his descendants. As humanity spread and developed, Allah sent prophets as guides to ensure the preservation of monotheism and divine teachings. Nabi Ibrahim (Abraham, peace be upon him) holds a pivotal place in this timeline, often referred to as the "Father of the Prophets." Here's how his mission fits into the historical scheme after Nabi Nuh (AS). 1. Nabi Nuh (Noah, AS): Nabi Nuh (AS) was sent as a Warner to a corrupt and disobedient people. The Qur'an describes his long and tireless efforts to guide them: “Indeed, We sent Nuh to his people, saying, ‘Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment.’” (Surah Nuh, 71:1) Following the flood, humanity was repopulated through his three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. This marked a new era of human civilization. 2. Nabi Hud (AS): Sent to the peop...

Reviving the Sacred Knowledge: Nabi Idris (AS), Sacred Geometry, and the Path to Divine Connection

Image
Exploring the Teachings of Sacred Geometry, the Names of Allah, and the Connection to the Cosmos The story of Prophet Idris (AS), often associated with Thoth in Egyptian tradition, offers profound insight into the connection between humanity, the universe, and divine knowledge. Idris, widely recognized as one of the earliest teachers of writing, mathematics, and sacred geometry, introduced humanity to practices that connect us not just to the world around us, but to the very cosmos. The Teachings of Nabi Idris (AS) Nabi Idris (AS), known for his wisdom, is believed to have been the one who taught humanity the art of writing, mathematics, and sacred geometry. It was through him that early humans learned how to use sacred geometric patterns, which are inherently connected to the divine order of the universe. These patterns, including the shapes found in the construction of the pyramids and other ancient structures, are thought to have been passed down through sacred teachings, offering a...

Prophet Idris and the Convergence of Wisdom

Image
  Prophet Idris: The Bridge of Wisdom Between Worlds In Islamic tradition, Prophet Idris (known in Judeo-Christian traditions as Enoch) is revered for his deep devotion to Allah and his immense contributions to knowledge and civilization. His wisdom is celebrated as being ahead of his time, with many ascribing to him the first use of the pen and the invention of various sciences. An intriguing aspect of Prophet Idris's legacy is his identification with Hermes Trismegistus, a figure in Greek and Egyptian mythology. Hermes Trismegistus is a syncretic figure combining the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth, both gods of wisdom, writing, and esoteric knowledge. This connection between Idris, Hermes, and Thoth reflects the shared reverence for wisdom and knowledge that transcends cultures—connecting Islamic, Greek, and Egyptian traditions. Idris’s association with Hermes Trismegistus highlights the remarkable convergence of cultures, all emphasizing the pursuit of wisdom and un...

Reflections of the Divine Blueprint

An Account of Idris Allah says in the Holy Qur’an: “And mention Idris in the Book, surely he was a truthful man, a Prophet. And We raised him high in heaven.” (19:57-58) It is narrated by Wahab that Idris was a man of solid build with a broad chest. His body was mostly free of hair except for a thick covering on his head. One ear was slightly larger than the other, and his chest hair was sparse. He spoke in a soft tone, and when he walked, his feet would come together, revealing his gentle nature. Idris was a Prophet of immense devotion to Allah. He contemplated deeply on the vastness of Allah's creation: the sky, the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars—all evidence of Allah's limitless power. He was known for his unyielding conviction about the greatness of Allah and the importance of worshiping only Him. He took it upon himself to remind his people of this truth, warning them of the punishment for turning away from their Creator. At first, Idris only had a small following: se...

The Weight of Perseverance: Lessons from Prophet Adam (AS)

Image
Prophet Adam (AS) and the Absence of Writing Prophet Adam (AS) stands as a profound symbol of humanity’s beginning—a journey shaped by choice, repentance, and growth. His narrative reflects the challenges of navigating free will and the human condition. But when viewed through a metaphysical lens, his story reveals an intriguing layer: the absence of grounding through written knowledge and structured guidance. Adam’s test in the Garden was not merely about temptation; it highlighted a deeper truth about perseverance. His lack of grounding left him vulnerable. Writing—when connected to divine knowledge—offers something more than documentation. It becomes a stabilizing force, an anchor that embeds wisdom into the heart, mind, and soul. Writing is transformative because it doesn’t allow truths to slip away; instead, it fixes them into permanence, giving us the spiritual weight to resist distractions and endure trials. The act of writing aligns the mind with purpose, much like dhikr or sac...

Reflecting on Sacred Geometry: Signs of Divine Wisdom

Image
Contemplating the Legacy of a Prophet and the Divine Art of Creation Sacred geometry is not merely an art or science—it is a divine language, an intricate code that speaks to the Creator’s infinite wisdom. Its patterns, found in the cosmos, nature, and human design, serve as signs of Allah’s harmonious and balanced creation. But beyond its physical beauty, sacred geometry connects the material and spiritual worlds, urging us to recognize the divine order underlying all existence. A prophet, celebrated for his wisdom in astronomy, the mastery of the pen, and his insight into creation, is said to have left behind a legacy of sacred geometry. This connection demands our reflection: why was the pen—a tool associated with recording, creativity, and divine knowledge—emphasized so far back in human history? The Qur’an itself highlights its significance: "Read, and your Lord is the Most Generous—Who taught by the pen." ( Surah Al-Alaq: 3-4 ) The teachings attributed to this prophet ...
